ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Bodyweight management in the next few months

Well yeah, I'm kinda currently doing that right now... my protein shake is 90% protein after the workout, as I figured I already eat too much carbs anyway so there's no reason to supplement with a protein shake that has a high % of carbs in it as well.
What do you think about the cardio thing? What should I be doing in terms of cardio and when? I really have no experience at all with cardio. Right now, 84 kg is a lot of weight. If I could somehow move towards 72-75 kg as my weight (my bone structure suggest, in my mind, this would be a great weight to be at) that would be tremendous... haven't been lower than 80 kg in 5-6 years.
Regarding what I said in the other thread, about one day of full squats and another of partials, one issue I currently worry about is:
1) I prefer to do the partials with a high bar position. This instead runs the risk of irritating my right knee. At the same time, I don't really want to do low bar with a heavy weight yet as that wrecks my wrists, elbows and shoulders...
AND
2) There's this thing that if I go with a heavy weight past a certain point, I might not be able to come back. Say I plan to do a 1/4 squat with 150 but I can't stop the weight quickly and high enough in one of my reps and I fail the rep... I don't want that to happen, not safe at all. I've usually seen people that do partials use a box under their butt to stop the momentum/for safety, but I don't have such a thing.
Thanks for the answers!
